Description

本発明は、対向設置された一対のガイドレールに沿ってスライド移動可能に配設されるシャッタに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a shutter disposed so as to be slidable along a pair of guide rails disposed opposite to each other.

例えば、図１０に示すように、自動車の乗員室内に設置されるフロアコンソールＦＣでは、上方に開口した物品収納部１０２がコンソール本体１００の内部に画成されており、該物品収納部１０２の上部開口１０４を開閉する蓋部材としてシャッタＳ１を採用したものがある。前記シャッタＳ１は、フロアコンソールＦＣ内において物品収納部１０２を挟んで左右に対向して配設された一対のガイドレールＧＲ１,ＧＲ２に、一端部に設けた摺動支持部７４および他端部に設けた摺動支持部７４を夫々係合させることで、該ガイドレールＧＲ１,ＧＲ２に沿って前後方向のスライド移動が可能となっている。 For example, as shown in FIG. 10, in a floor console FC installed in a passenger compartment of an automobile, an article storage portion 102 opened upward is defined inside the console body 100, and an upper portion of the article storage portion 102 is formed. Some lid members that open and close the opening 104 employ a shutter S1. The shutter S1 is connected to a pair of guide rails GR1 and GR2 that are disposed to face the left and right sides of the article storage portion 102 in the floor console FC, on a sliding support portion 74 provided on one end portion, and on the other end portion. By engaging the provided sliding support portions 74 respectively, sliding movement in the front-rear direction is possible along the guide rails GR1 and GR2.

前記一対のガイドレールＧＲ１,ＧＲ２は、図１０に示すように、幅方向において対称形状に形成されており、物品収納部１０２の上部開口１０４の側縁に前後方向へ水平に延在する直線部１１０と、該直線部１１０の後部から所定の曲率で物品収納部１０２の後側下方へ円弧状に湾曲する曲線部１１２とを備えている。従って前記シャッタＳ１は、物品収納部１０２を閉じた状態ではコンソール本体１００の上面に略水平かつ平坦状に延在し、該物品収納部１０２を開いた状態では該コンソール本体１００の後側内部に湾曲状態で収納されるため、平坦状態と湾曲状態とに変形することが要求される。またシャッタＳ１は、物品収納部１０２を閉じた状態において、上面に物品や腕(肘)を載せたり、乗員室に乗降する際に手を着く等の使用態様が起こり得る。このためシャッタＳ１は、湾曲状態への変形を可能とする可撓性および荷重を支える剛性の両方を兼備する必要がある。そこで、従来のシャッタＳ１は、図１１および図１２に示すように、軟質樹脂(熱可塑性エラストマ等)により成形されたプレート部材６０と、この軟質樹脂より硬い硬質樹脂(ポリエチレンやポリプロピレン等)から成形されたリブ部材７０とを備えている。すなわち、従来のシャッタＳ１は、所謂多色成形方法により製造されて、硬さが異なる２種類以上の樹脂から形成されたものが多く採用されている。 As shown in FIG. 10, the pair of guide rails GR 1 and GR 2 are formed in a symmetrical shape in the width direction, and are linear portions extending horizontally in the front-rear direction at the side edge of the upper opening 104 of the article storage portion 102. 110, and a curved portion 112 that curves in a circular arc from the rear portion of the straight portion 110 to the rear lower side of the article storage portion 102 with a predetermined curvature. Accordingly, the shutter S1 extends substantially horizontally and flatly on the upper surface of the console main body 100 when the article storage section 102 is closed, and the shutter S1 is located inside the rear side of the console main body 100 when the article storage section 102 is opened. Since it is stored in a curved state, it is required to be deformed into a flat state and a curved state. Further, the shutter S1 may be used in a state where the article storage unit 102 is closed, such as placing an article or an arm (elbow) on the upper surface, or putting on a hand when getting in or out of the passenger compartment. For this reason, the shutter S1 needs to have both flexibility that enables deformation into a curved state and rigidity that supports a load. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the conventional shutter S1 is formed from a plate member 60 formed from a soft resin (thermoplastic elastomer or the like) and a hard resin (polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like) harder than the soft resin. The rib member 70 is provided. That is, the conventional shutter S1 is often manufactured by a so-called multicolor molding method and formed of two or more kinds of resins having different hardnesses.

前記プレート部材６０は、セル部６２と該セル部６２より薄いヒンジ部６４とがスライド方向に交互に形成されており、各ヒンジ部６４において弾力的な湾曲変形が可能となっている。また、各リブ部材７０は、前記セル部６２に沿って延在するリブ部７２と、該リブ部７２の一端部および他端部の夫々に設けた摺動支持部７４,７４とを備えている。各リブ部材７０は、スライド方向で互いに個々が分離しており、リブ部７２がプレート部材６０のセル部６２に接合され、各摺動支持部７４がプレート部材６０より側方へ延出している。従ってシャッタＳ１は、各リブ部材７０の各摺動支持部７４,７４を、対応するガイドレールＧＲ１,ＧＲ２の溝部１１４に係合させることで、該ガイドレールＧＲ１,ＧＲ２に沿ったスライド移動が可能となる。このようなシャッタＳ１は、例えば特許文献１に開示されている。 In the plate member 60, cell portions 62 and hinge portions 64 thinner than the cell portions 62 are alternately formed in the sliding direction, and each hinge portion 64 can be elastically deformed. Each rib member 70 includes a rib portion 72 extending along the cell portion 62 and sliding support portions 74 and 74 provided at one end portion and the other end portion of the rib portion 72, respectively. Yes. Each rib member 70 is separated from each other in the sliding direction, the rib portion 72 is joined to the cell portion 62 of the plate member 60, and each sliding support portion 74 extends laterally from the plate member 60. . Therefore, the shutter S1 can slide along the guide rails GR1 and GR2 by engaging the sliding support portions 74 and 74 of the rib members 70 with the groove portions 114 of the corresponding guide rails GR1 and GR2. It becomes. Such a shutter S1 is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.

特開２００８−２４０９９号公報JP 2008-24099 A

ところで、前記従来のシャッタＳ１は、図１１および図１２に示すように、ヒンジ部６４を形成することによる凹凸がプレート部材６０の表面に形成されているので質感が高くない。また、プレート部材６０を形成する前記軟質樹脂は、内部に空隙を有さない所謂ソリッドタイプであるから、荷重が加わった際に圧縮変形するほどの柔軟性は備えていない。このため、物品収納部１０２を閉じた平坦状態のシャッタＳ１の上面に腕(肘)を載せた場合には、プレート部材６０が殆ど圧縮変形しないから該シャッタＳ１をアームレストとして使用するには硬すぎる問題がある。 By the way, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the conventional shutter S 1 is not high in texture because the irregularities formed by forming the hinge portion 64 are formed on the surface of the plate member 60. Further, since the soft resin forming the plate member 60 is a so-called solid type that does not have a gap inside, it does not have the flexibility to compress and deform when a load is applied. For this reason, when an arm (elbow) is placed on the upper surface of the flat shutter S1 with the article storage portion 102 closed, the plate member 60 hardly compresses and deforms, so that the shutter S1 is too hard to be used as an armrest. There's a problem.

なお、前記シャッタＳ１におけるプレート部材６０の表面に、適宜の表皮材を直接貼付けるようにすることも考えられる。しかし、このような表皮材を装着するシャッタでは、プレート部材６０を内側にして湾曲状態に変形するに際して内側の該プレート部材６０と外側の表皮材との間に周長差があることから、ゴムの如く伸縮変形に富む素材から形成された表皮材を使用しなければならない。換言すると、伸縮変形し難い素材からなる表皮材をプレート部材６０に装着した場合には、シャッタの湾曲状態への変形が阻害されたり、当該表皮材がプレート部材６０から剥離する問題が発生する。また、伸縮変形に富む素材から形成された表皮材を使用した場合には、シャッタＳ１が湾曲状態と平坦状態との間で変形を繰り返すと該表皮材が伸びた状態となって弛みや皺が発生する問題が発生する。 It is also conceivable to attach an appropriate skin material directly to the surface of the plate member 60 in the shutter S1. However, in such a shutter to which the skin material is mounted, there is a difference in peripheral length between the inner plate member 60 and the outer skin material when the plate member 60 is deformed into a curved state with the plate member 60 inside. Thus, it is necessary to use a skin material formed from a material rich in expansion and contraction. In other words, when a skin material made of a material that hardly stretches or deforms is attached to the plate member 60, the deformation of the shutter into the curved state is hindered, or the skin material is peeled off from the plate member 60. In addition, when a skin material made of a material rich in expansion and contraction is used, if the shutter S1 is repeatedly deformed between a curved state and a flat state, the skin material is stretched and looseness and wrinkles are formed. The problem that occurs occurs.

従って本発明では、高い質感を有するシャッタを提供することを目的とする。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a shutter having a high texture.

前記課題を解決し、所期の目的を達成するため、本願の請求項１に記載の発明は、
対向設置された一対のガイドレールに沿ってスライド移動可能に配設されるシャッタであって、
前記ガイドレールに相対する各端が対応の該ガイドレールにスライド移動可能に支持され、直線部と曲線部とが連なる該ガイドレールに合わせて屈伸変形するシャッタ基材と、前記シャッタ基材の一面に配設されるパッド部材とを備え、
前記シャッタ基材は、シャッタのスライド方向に並べて設けられて、該シャッタに加わる荷重を支える支持体部と、隣り合う支持体部の間に変形可能に形成され、両支持体部を繋ぐヒンジ部とを備え、支持体部およびヒンジ部が同一の材料により一体成形され、
前記パッド部材は、前記シャッタ基材の一面に設けられて弾力性を有する発泡体と、可撓性を有し、該発泡体の表面を被覆するように配設されて前記シャッタ基材に接着された表皮材とを有し、シャッタ基材の変形に追従して該シャッタ基材側を内側にして湾曲するよう構成され、
前記発泡体は、前記スライド方向に沿う両側面が、前記シャッタ基材から離れるにつれて互いに離れるよう斜めに形成されると共に、該発泡体の側面が、前記表皮材において傾斜状に形成された側面によって被覆されて、前記パッド部材は、前記スライド方向に沿う両側面が、前記シャッタ基材から離れるにつれて互いに離れるよう斜めに形成されたことを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problems and achieve the intended purpose, the invention according to claim 1 of the present application provides:
A shutter arranged to be slidable along a pair of guide rails installed opposite to each other,
Each end facing the guide rail is supported by the corresponding guide rail so as to be slidable, and a shutter base material that bends and stretches in accordance with the guide rail in which a linear portion and a curved portion are connected, and one surface of the shutter base material And a pad member disposed on
The shutter base material is provided side by side in the sliding direction of the shutter, and is formed so as to be deformable between a support body portion that supports a load applied to the shutter and an adjacent support body portion, and connects the both support body portions. And the support portion and the hinge portion are integrally formed of the same material,
Bonding the pad member comprises a foam having a resilience provided on one surface of the shutter base has flexibility, the shutter substrate is disposed so as to cover the surface of the foam by having a skin material, following the deformation of the shutter base configured to bend with the shutter base material side to the inside,
The foam is formed obliquely such that both side surfaces along the sliding direction are separated from each other as the distance from the shutter base material, and the side surface of the foam is inclined by the side surface formed in the skin material. The pad member is formed so that both side surfaces along the sliding direction are inclined so as to be separated from each other as the distance from the shutter base material is increased .

従って、請求項１に係る発明によれば、シャッタ基材の一面に、弾力性を有する発泡体および可撓性を有する表皮材から構成されたパッド部材が配設されているので、シャッタ基材がパッド部材で隠れて表皮材が表側に露出し、発泡体による弾力性によりシャッタの質感が高くなる。また、シャッタがガイドレールの曲線部に沿って湾曲状態に変形する際には、弾力性を有する発泡体が変形することで該シャッタの湾曲状態への変形が阻害され難い。
パッド部材のスライド方向に沿う両側面は、シャッタ基材から離れるにつれて互いに離れるよう斜めに設けられているから、該パッド部材の両側面はシャッタ基材側へ沈み込むように変形し易くなっている。従って、シャッタがガイドレールの曲線部に移動して湾曲状態となる際には、パッド部材のスライド方向に沿う両側面がシャッタ基材側へ沈み込んでパッド部材が圧縮変形し易くなり、表皮材がシャッタのスライド方向へ突っ張り難くなるので該シャッタの湾曲状態への変形が阻害され難い。また、表皮材がシャッタのスライド方向へ突っ張り難いから、パッド部材がシャッタ基材から剥離することも防止し得る。 Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the pad member composed of the foam having elasticity and the skin material having flexibility is disposed on one surface of the shutter base material, the shutter base material is provided. Is hidden by the pad member and the skin material is exposed to the front side, and the texture of the shutter is enhanced by the elasticity of the foam. Further, when the shutter is deformed into the curved state along the curved portion of the guide rail, the elastic foam is deformed, so that the deformation of the shutter into the curved state is difficult to be inhibited.
Since both side surfaces along the sliding direction of the pad member are provided obliquely so as to be separated from each other as they are separated from the shutter base material, both side surfaces of the pad member are easily deformed so as to sink into the shutter base material side. . Therefore, when the shutter moves to the curved portion of the guide rail and enters a curved state, both side surfaces along the sliding direction of the pad member sink to the shutter base material side, and the pad member is easily compressed and deformed. Since it is difficult to push in the sliding direction of the shutter, the deformation of the shutter into the curved state is difficult to be hindered. Further, since the skin material is difficult to push in the sliding direction of the shutter, it is possible to prevent the pad member from peeling off from the shutter base material.

請求項２に記載の発明は、前記表皮材は、その側面から外側方へ延出して前記発泡体の傾斜した前記側面に対向する周縁部が、前記シャッター基材の一面に接着されたことを要旨とする。 According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the skin material, a peripheral portion that extends outward from the side surface and faces the inclined side surface of the foam is bonded to one surface of the shutter base material. The gist .

請求項３に記載の発明は、前記パッド部材は、スライド方向と交差する方向に沿う両端面の少なくとも一方が、前記シャッタ基材から離れるにつれて他方から離れるよう斜めに形成されることを要旨とする。
従って、請求項３に係る発明によれば、パッド部材のスライド方向と交差する方向に沿う両端面の少なくとも一方は、シャッタ基材から離れるにつれて他方から離れるよう斜めに設けられているから、該パッド部材の斜めに設けられた端面はシャッタのスライド方向における反対側の端面側へ近づくように変形し易くなっている。従って、シャッタがガイドレールの曲線部に移動して湾曲状態となる際には、パッド部材の斜めに形成された端面がシャッタのスライド方向における反対側の端面側へ変形するから表皮材がスライド方向へ突っ張り難くなり、該シャッタの湾曲状態への変形が阻害されない。また、表皮材がシャッタのスライド方向へ突っ張らないから、パッド部材がシャッタ基材から剥離することも防止し得る。 The gist of the invention according to claim 3 is that the pad member is formed obliquely so that at least one of both end faces along the direction intersecting the sliding direction is separated from the other as it is separated from the shutter base material. .
Therefore, according to the invention of claim 3, since at least one of the both end surfaces along the direction intersecting the sliding direction of the pad member is provided obliquely so as to move away from the other as it moves away from the shutter base material. The end face provided obliquely of the member is easily deformed so as to approach the opposite end face in the sliding direction of the shutter. Therefore, when the shutter moves to the curved portion of the guide rail and enters the curved state, the end surface formed obliquely of the pad member is deformed to the opposite end surface side in the sliding direction of the shutter, so that the skin material is in the sliding direction. It is difficult to push the shutter, and the deformation of the shutter into the curved state is not hindered. Moreover, since the skin material does not stretch in the sliding direction of the shutter, it is possible to prevent the pad member from peeling off from the shutter base material.

本発明に係るシャッタによれば、表皮材および発泡体からなるパッド部材を備えるので高い質感を有する。 According to the shutter of the present invention, since the pad member made of the skin material and the foam is provided, the texture is high.

第１梁部１４および第２梁部１６は、図３および図４に示すように、シャッタＳの長さ方向において対称となる形状に形成されており、該シャッタＳの長さ方向での幅寸法に対して該シャッタＳの厚み方向での高さ寸法が大きく設定されている。そして、第１梁部１４および第２梁部１６は、幅方向において４等分に便宜的に区切った場合に、中央寄りの２区分に対応する部分において高さが最大に形成され、当該支持体部１０の一端部１０Ａ側および他端部１０Ｂ側において高さが最小に形成されている。更に、第１梁部１４および第２梁部１６における一端部１０Ａ側の部分では、中央側から該一端部１０Ａに近づくにつれて高さが徐々に小さくなるように傾斜状に形成されていると共に、他端部１０Ｂ側の部分では、中央側から該他端部１０Ｂに近づくにつれて高さが徐々に小さくなるように傾斜状に形成されている。従って、リブ構造体として構成された支持体部１０は、両梁部１４,１６間が硬質樹脂で埋まった形状の場合と同等の剛性が確保されており、幅方向における中間部に対し上方から荷重が加わっても、幅方向での撓み変形や捻れ変形が発現し難い。そして各支持体部１０は、図２に示すように、シャッタＳの長さ方向での幅寸法が、ヒンジ部２０側(板部１２側)が最大となるように形成され、厚み方向においてヒンジ部２０から離れるにつれて徐々に小さくなり、ヒンジ部２０と反対側の端部が最小となるように形成されている。すなわち支持体部１０は、シャッタＳの幅方向の外方から見た形状が、ヒンジ部２０から離れるにつれて先細となる台形形状をなし、シャッタＳの裏側へ突出して形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first beam portion 14 and the second beam portion 16 are formed in a symmetric shape in the length direction of the shutter S, and the width of the shutter S in the length direction. The height dimension in the thickness direction of the shutter S is set larger than the dimension. When the first beam portion 14 and the second beam portion 16 are divided into four equal parts in the width direction for convenience, the height is formed at the maximum in the portion corresponding to the two sections closer to the center, and the support The body portion 10 is formed to have a minimum height on the one end portion 10A side and the other end portion 10B side. Further, the portion on the one end 10A side of the first beam portion 14 and the second beam portion 16 is formed in an inclined shape so that the height gradually decreases from the center side toward the one end portion 10A, The portion on the other end 10B side is formed in an inclined shape so that the height gradually decreases from the center side toward the other end 10B. Accordingly, the support portion 10 configured as a rib structure has a rigidity equivalent to that of the shape in which the space between both the beam portions 14 and 16 is filled with the hard resin, and from above the intermediate portion in the width direction. Even when a load is applied, it is difficult for flexure deformation and twist deformation in the width direction to occur. As shown in FIG. 2, each support member 10 is formed such that the width dimension in the length direction of the shutter S is maximized on the hinge part 20 side (plate part 12 side). As the distance from the portion 20 increases, the width gradually decreases, and the end opposite to the hinge portion 20 is minimized. That is, the support body portion 10 is formed in a trapezoidal shape in which the shape of the shutter S viewed from the outside in the width direction becomes tapered as the distance from the hinge portion 20 increases, and protrudes to the back side of the shutter S.

ヒンジ部２０は、図１〜図３に示すように、長さ方向で隣り合う支持体部１０,１０の板部１２と一体的に形成され、各支持体部１０を、厚み方向の表側で横並び状に連設している。そしてヒンジ部２０は、支持体部１０より薄肉に形成されて長さ方向で弾性的な撓曲変形または折曲変形が可能となっており、支持体部１０の表側から離間した裏側が近接して、隣り合う一方の支持体部１０における第１梁部１４と他方の支持体部１０における第２梁部１６とが接触するまで変形が可能となっている。ヒンジ部２０を挟んで隣り合う両支持体部１０,１０の間隔は、前述したように該支持体部１０が台形形状に形成されていることで、シャッタＳの平坦状態において、ヒンジ部２０側が最も狭く、該ヒンジ部２０から離れるにつれて徐々に大きくなっている(図２)。そしてヒンジ部２０は、厚みが０.５ｍｍ程度に設定されており、必要な剛性を有する硬質の合成樹脂からなる成形材料により形成されていても、隣り合う支持体部１０,１０が互いに接触するまで弾性的に撓曲変形または折曲変形し得ると共に、隣り合う支持体部１０,１０が互いに接触するまで折曲させた際でも塑性変形による破断が発生しないよう構成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the hinge portion 20 is integrally formed with the plate portions 12 of the support portions 10 and 10 adjacent in the length direction, and the support portions 10 are arranged on the front side in the thickness direction. They are arranged side by side. The hinge portion 20 is formed thinner than the support body portion 10 and can be elastically bent or bent in the length direction, and the back side separated from the front side of the support body portion 10 is close. Thus, the deformation can be performed until the first beam portion 14 in the adjacent one support portion 10 and the second beam portion 16 in the other support portion 10 come into contact with each other. As described above, the interval between the support portions 10 and 10 adjacent to each other across the hinge portion 20 is such that the support portion 10 is formed in a trapezoidal shape. It is the narrowest and gradually increases with distance from the hinge portion 20 (FIG. 2). The hinge portion 20 is set to a thickness of about 0.5 mm, and even if the hinge portion 20 is formed of a molding material made of a hard synthetic resin having the necessary rigidity, the adjacent support portions 10 and 10 are in contact with each other. It can be elastically bent or bent to the extent that it does not break due to plastic deformation even when the adjacent support members 10 and 10 are bent until they come into contact with each other.

As a result, the upper opening 104 is entirely covered. In the flat state of the shutter S, the foam 40 and the skin material 50 of the pad member PD are in a natural state and are not particularly stressed.

そして実施例のシャッタＳは、物品収納部１０２の上部開口１０４を全体的に覆蓋した平坦状態において、上方に位置しているパッド部材ＰＤに物品や腕(肘)を載せたり手を着く等により上方から荷重が加わると、シャッタ基材ＳＢは該荷重を受け止めて平坦状態が維持され、パッド部材ＰＤは荷重が加わった部分およびその周囲が圧縮変形する。すなわち、上方からの荷重を受けたシャッタ基材ＳＢの各支持体部１０では、両摺動支持部３０,３０の第１当接部３２,３２および第２当接部３４,３４の少なくとも３つ以上が各ガイドレールＧＲ１,ＧＲ２における溝部１１４の底面１１４Ａに当接するようになり、回転変位することなく安定的に姿勢保持される。また各支持体部１０は、第１梁部１４、第２梁部１６および連設部１８からなるリブ構造体に構成されて剛性を有しているから、板部１２の上方から荷重が加わっても、幅方向での撓み変形および捻り変形が起こらない。一方、前記パッド部材ＰＤが発泡体４０の圧縮変形および表皮材５０の変形により適度に変形するので、腕(肘)を載せた際に弾力性を伴った触感が向上してアームレストとして適切に機能する。なお、前述したように、パッド部材ＰＤの左側面ＰＤ２および右側面ＰＤ３が前記シャッタ基材ＳＢから離れるにつれて(上面ＰＤ１に近づくにつれて)互いに離れるように斜めに設けられているため、上面ＰＤ１の左縁および右縁を押すと適切に圧縮変形し、当該パッド部材ＰＤは左縁および右縁が硬くならず全体が一様の硬さになっている。 The shutter S according to the embodiment is configured by placing an article or an arm (elbow) on the pad member PD positioned above or putting a hand on the pad member PD positioned in the flat state in which the upper opening 104 of the article storage unit 102 is entirely covered. When a load is applied from above, the shutter base material SB receives the load and maintains a flat state, and the pad member PD is compressed and deformed at the portion where the load is applied and its periphery. That is, in each support body portion 10 of the shutter base material SB that has received a load from above, at least 3 of the first contact portions 32 and 32 and the second contact portions 34 and 34 of both sliding support portions 30 and 30. One or more come into contact with the bottom surface 114A of the groove 114 in each of the guide rails GR1 and GR2, and the posture is stably maintained without rotational displacement. In addition, since each support body portion 10 is configured by a rib structure including the first beam portion 14, the second beam portion 16, and the connecting portion 18 and has rigidity, a load is applied from above the plate portion 12. However, the bending deformation and the twist deformation in the width direction do not occur. On the other hand, since the pad member PD is appropriately deformed by the compression deformation of the foam 40 and the deformation of the skin material 50, the tactile sensation with elasticity is improved when the arm (elbow) is placed, and the pad member PD functions appropriately as an armrest. To do. As described above, the left side surface PD2 and the right side surface PD3 of the pad member PD are provided so as to be separated from each other as they are separated from the shutter base material SB (as they approach the top surface PD1). When the edge and the right edge are pressed, the pad member PD is appropriately compressed and deformed, and the left edge and the right edge are not hardened, and the entire pad member PD has a uniform hardness.

また実施例のシャッタＳは、コンソール本体１００の後方に向けてスライド移動させると、図６に示すように、長さ方向における後側の支持体部１０から各ガイドレールＧＲ１,ＧＲ２の曲線部１１２に順次移動するようになる。これにより、シャッタ基材ＳＢの前記曲線部１１２に位置する部位では、各ヒンジ部２０が弾性的に屈曲変形することで、一方の支持体部１０に対して他方の支持体部１０が互いに近づくように姿勢変位し、該シャッタ基材ＳＢは曲線部１１２の曲率に合わせて湾曲状態に変形するようになる。 When the shutter S of the embodiment is slid toward the rear of the console main body 100, as shown in FIG. 6, the curved portion 112 of each guide rail GR1, GR2 from the rear support portion 10 in the length direction. Move sequentially. Thereby, in the site | part located in the said curve part 112 of shutter base material SB, the other support body part 10 mutually approaches with respect to one support body part 10 because each hinge part 20 elastically bends and deforms. Thus, the shutter base material SB is deformed into a curved state in accordance with the curvature of the curved portion 112.

そして、シャッタ基材ＳＢより軟らかいパッド部材ＰＤは、該シャッタ基材ＳＢの湾曲状態への変形に追従して湾曲状態に変形する。ここでシャッタＳは、シャッタ基材ＳＢを内側にして湾曲状態に変形するため、該シャッタ基材ＳＢより外側に位置するパッド部材ＰＤは、両部材の間の周長差により長さ方向へ引っ張られる。これにより、図６および図７に示すように、パッド部材ＰＤを構成する表皮材５０は、シャッタ基材ＳＢに近づく方向へ引っ張られるようになると共に、パッド部材ＰＤを構成する発泡体４０は、シャッタ基材ＳＢ側と反対側がシャッタＳの長さ方向へ引っ張られると共に表皮材５０により厚み方向へ押される。従ってパッド部材ＰＤは、表皮材５０に押されて発泡体４０が圧縮変形することで、厚みが減少するようになる。 The pad member PD that is softer than the shutter base material SB is deformed into a curved state following the deformation of the shutter base material SB into the curved state. Here, since the shutter S is deformed into a curved state with the shutter base material SB inside, the pad member PD positioned outside the shutter base material SB is pulled in the length direction due to the circumferential length difference between the two members. It is done. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the skin material 50 constituting the pad member PD is pulled in a direction approaching the shutter base material SB, and the foam 40 constituting the pad member PD is The side opposite to the shutter base material SB side is pulled in the length direction of the shutter S and pushed in the thickness direction by the skin material 50. Therefore, the thickness of the pad member PD is reduced when the foam 40 is compressed and deformed by being pressed by the skin material 50.

ここで、表皮材５０の左表皮部５２および右表皮部５３は、図７に示すように、幅方向において側方へ倒れ込むように変形すると共に、該表皮材５０の前表皮部５４および後表皮部５５は、図６に示すように、シャッタ基材ＳＢ側と反対側(上表皮部５１側)が長さ方向(湾曲方向)において互いに近づく方向に変形する。従って、パッド部材ＰＤの左側面ＰＤ２、右側面ＰＤ３、前端面ＰＤ４および後端面ＰＤ５の全てが沈み込むように変形するから、パッド部材ＰＤは全体が一様に圧縮変形する。しかも、前表皮部５４および後表皮部５５が互いに近づく方向へ立ち上がるように変形することで、該上表皮部５１に作用する引張り力が大幅に減少するから、パッド部材ＰＤがシャッタＳの湾曲状態への変形を阻害しない。これにより実施例のシャッタＳは、ガイドレールＧＲ１,ＧＲ２の曲線部１１２と同じ曲率の湾曲状態にスムーズに変形する。 Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the left skin portion 52 and the right skin portion 53 of the skin material 50 are deformed so as to fall sideways in the width direction, and the front skin portion 54 and the rear skin skin of the skin material 50. As shown in FIG. 6, the portion 55 is deformed in a direction in which the side opposite to the shutter base material SB side (upper skin portion 51 side) approaches each other in the length direction (curving direction). Accordingly, since the left side surface PD2, the right side surface PD3, the front end surface PD4 and the rear end surface PD5 of the pad member PD are deformed so as to sink, the pad member PD is uniformly compressed and deformed as a whole. In addition, since the front skin portion 54 and the rear skin portion 55 are deformed so as to rise in a direction approaching each other, the tensile force acting on the upper skin portion 51 is greatly reduced, so that the pad member PD is in a curved state of the shutter S. Does not hinder the transformation to. Thereby, the shutter S of the embodiment is smoothly deformed into a curved state having the same curvature as that of the curved portion 112 of the guide rails GR1 and GR2.

従って、実施例のシャッタＳによれば、シャッタ基材ＳＢの表面側に、弾力性を有する発泡体４０および可撓性を有する表皮材５０から構成されたパッド部材ＰＤが配設されているので、シャッタ基材ＳＢがパッド部材ＰＤで隠れると共に、表面に露出した表皮材５０および弾力性を有する発泡体４０によりシャッタＳの質感が高くなっている。そして、シャッタＳがガイドレールＧＲ１,ＧＲ２の直線部１１０に移動して平坦状態になった際には、弾力性を有するパッド部材ＰＤがシャッタ基材ＳＢの上方に位置するため、腕(肘)を載せた際には適度の弾力性を伴って触感が向上して、該シャッタＳをアームレストとして実施することが可能である。 Therefore, according to the shutter S of the embodiment, the pad member PD composed of the foam 40 having elasticity and the skin material 50 having flexibility is disposed on the surface side of the shutter base SB. The shutter base material SB is hidden by the pad member PD, and the texture of the shutter S is enhanced by the skin material 50 exposed on the surface and the elastic foam 40. When the shutter S moves to the straight portion 110 of the guide rails GR1 and GR2 and becomes flat, the elastic pad member PD is positioned above the shutter base material SB. When this is placed, the tactile sensation is improved with moderate elasticity, and the shutter S can be implemented as an armrest.

また、実施例のシャッタＳによれば、ガイドレールＧＲ１,ＧＲ２の曲線部１１２に移動して、シャッタ基材ＳＢを内側として湾曲状態に変形する際には、弾力性を有するパッド部材ＰＤのスライド方向に沿う左側面ＰＤ２および右側面ＰＤ３がシャッタ基材ＳＢ側へ沈み込むように変形すると共に、該パッド部材ＰＤのスライド方向と交差する幅方向に沿う前端面ＰＤ４および後端面ＰＤ５が互いに近づく方向へ変形することで、該パッド部材ＰＤはシャッタ基材ＳＢ側へ沈み込むように変形する。従って、パッド部材ＰＤが適切に変形することで、シャッタＳの湾曲状態への変形が阻害されず、該シャッタＳのスムーズな開閉が可能となる。また、表皮材５０が長さ方向へ突っ張り難くなり、パッド部材ＰＤがシャッタ基材ＳＢから剥離することも防止し得る。更に、表皮材５０や発泡体４０に亀裂が発生し難くなると共に、該表皮材５０と発泡体４０との剥離および該発泡体４０とシャッタ基材ＳＢとの剥離も防止し得る。 Further, according to the shutter S of the embodiment, when moving to the curved portion 112 of the guide rails GR1 and GR2 and deforming into a curved state with the shutter base SB inside, the pad member PD having elasticity is slid. The left side surface PD2 and the right side surface PD3 along the direction are deformed so as to sink into the shutter base material SB side, and the front end surface PD4 and the rear end surface PD5 along the width direction intersecting the sliding direction of the pad member PD approach each other. The pad member PD is deformed so as to sink into the shutter base SB side. Therefore, when the pad member PD is appropriately deformed, the deformation of the shutter S into the curved state is not hindered, and the shutter S can be smoothly opened and closed. Further, it is difficult to stretch the skin material 50 in the length direction, and the pad member PD can be prevented from peeling from the shutter base material SB. Furthermore, cracks are less likely to occur in the skin material 50 and the foam 40, and peeling between the skin material 50 and the foam 40 and peeling between the foam 40 and the shutter base material SB can be prevented.

また実施例のシャッタＳでは、厚み方向から荷重が加わった際に、該シャッタＳを構成する各支持体部１０が、一端部１０Ａおよび他端部１０Ｂの夫々に設けた摺動支持部３０,３０における長さ方向に並べて２つずつ設けた各第１当接部３２および各第２当接部３４の計４つのうちの３つ以上で一対のガイドレールＧＲ１,ＧＲ２に支持されるため、該支持体部１０は幅方向に延在する軸線Ｊを中心として回転変位し難い。すなわち実施例のシャッタＳは、各支持体部１０に荷重が加わった際に、該支持体部１０を繋ぐヒンジ部２０に応力が集中し難く、よって該ヒンジ部２０を薄く形成することが可能となる。 Further, in the shutter S of the embodiment, when a load is applied from the thickness direction, each support body portion 10 constituting the shutter S is provided with a sliding support portion 30 provided on each of the one end portion 10A and the other end portion 10B. 30 is supported by the pair of guide rails GR1 and GR2 by three or more of the total four of the first abutting portions 32 and the second abutting portions 34 that are provided two by two in the length direction in 30, The support body 10 is difficult to be rotationally displaced about an axis J extending in the width direction. That is, in the shutter S of the embodiment, when a load is applied to each support body portion 10, stress is not easily concentrated on the hinge portion 20 that connects the support body portions 10, and thus the hinge portion 20 can be formed thin. It becomes.
